    Surprisingly I enjoyed this soup. Without the parmesan it would have been bland.

    So simple, yet so delicious. Don't overcook the cauliflower and it will be great!

    Lot a different opinions on this recipe I see. I had very low expectations, when my girlfriend cooked this for me, but I must say, I was surprised. Easy to make and the parmesan compliments the soup perfectly.

    Try switching the parmesan for blue cheese (I used slightly less Danish Blue than the parmesan suggested) - gorgeous

    I read through all the comments before i made the soup and decided that i would stick to the original recipe first and then add maybe add some blue cheese if not up to scatch. Once made i actually really enjoyed the soup, very delicate on the tastebuds and delicious with some crusty homemade bread.

    Added a vegetable stock cube, lifted the flavour as I thought it was a bit bland before. Nice soup!

    I made this delicious soup for 10 people - adding potato to the pot. Oh boy it was really really good, not one complaint. Thank you.

    Me and my partner really loved that soup, the parmesan cheese add a good taste, but the soup remain quite delicate. I love the cauliflower and I added this recipe in the winter soups :)

    I crumbled a chicken stock cube in with the milk. I used full fat milk for extra flavour. I also friend some bacon pieces until crispy and served them with croutons on top. Lovely!

    I think this could do with more cheese as the flavour was pretty bland. The texture of the soup is really nice though.
